A ltek’s value-added services — painting, assembly, bonding, hardware installation, printing, final testing — you name it, they do it; these offerings are their fastest growing service line in conjunction with their core com- ponent manufacturing competencies. Altek’s solution-cen- tered portfolio of services, at their foundation, exists because of the empowered and valued culture that Altek has nurtured. There is an undaunted and entrepreneurial culture embraced by Altek’s employees. Input is valued, from every level of the company. Ideas are discussed, and potential explored with the intent to deliver successful project completion. “We will serve our customers in the most beneficial way for them. We listen to the need, help them identify issues they may not know they have yet, and do our best to serve them better than any of their other suppliers,” says Taylor. For exam- ple, “If our clients provide us an accurate forecast, we will manufacture based on that model and release to the client’s de- mand. This allows us to forecast volumes, lock in a set price for the client, and meet demand as it comes.” This is a perfect example of why Altek is becoming one of the strongest players in the aerospace supply market. They operate from a place of meeting the need, not just filling an order. Altek’s creative and meaningful approach to providing a solution will continue to keep them in the forefront of aerospace supply chain technology. They don’t build wid- gets that you might be able to use. They help you custom- ize your own widget in such a way that it improves your manufacturing process and ultimately your end product. 22819 E.
